Of the 14 people, including Tang Cheng himself, there were only 14 people left in the empty and dilapidated position, and Tang Cheng once again turned a company commander into a squad leader. Among the 14 people gathered, except for 5 who were seriously wounded in the Japanese shelling, only 9 people were left who could continue to fight, and their domestic ammunition was running out, and even Tang Cheng himself carried a Japanese-style 38 rifle.

"We all repelled a Japanese attack, but you also saw that only us were the only ones left on our side, and the gunfire on the regiment commander's side has not stopped, and it is estimated that they are not much better, so don't expect the regiment commander to send reinforcements to us." The battle has been defeated now that Cheng dù has long eyes, he can see that the situation is not good, Tang Cheng does not hide it, and besides, the actual situation is indeed the case, and he can't hide it if he wants to.

"Just say what are we going to do, these people who are still alive are not afraid of death." Cao Jinhu, whose face was cut with a bloody mark by shrapnel, picked up a stone and sharpened his big knife, this habitual bandit who was forcibly left in the garrison regiment by Liu Goat never concealed his contempt for Tang Cheng, the small company commander, although he had to admit that Tang Cheng's appearance on the battlefield was no worse than that of him, a habitual bandit. Cao Jinhu usually glared at Tang Cheng, but this would be a rare time when he did not mock Tang Cheng in his words, which surprised Tang Cheng.

"Looking at the Japanese army's offensive just now, they want to break through our position tonight, although we repelled their attack this time, but I estimate that the Japanese army will never give up, and they are likely to attack." As he spoke, Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the trench, got up and looked out a few times. "I don't know how many grenades we had left outside the position, but I estimate that there may be more grenades left on the left side of the position, so I plan to leave only 4 people in the left position, and the rest are concentrated on the right side of the position."

Tangcheng's position is between Liu Goat and the position of the 173rd Division, and it is not connected to the position of Liu Goat and the 173rd Division, the left side of the position is the main position of the garrison regiment commanded by Liu Goat, and the right side is the open space of dozens of meters between the position of the 173rd Division. After considering all the factors, Tang Cheng planned to concentrate the focus of the next defense on the right flank of the position, mainly the open space between them and the 173rd Division. Tang Cheng said that he didn't consider that Liu Goat would send reinforcements, but in fact, he was still looking forward to Liu Goat being able to send reinforcements over, even if it was good to give him a squad of troops.

"Boy, I heard you're running out of manpower here." I don't know if Liu Goat heard the expectation in Tang Cheng's heart, and Liu Goat, who was limping and bleeding from his legs, appeared in Tang Cheng's position with a team of soldiers from the garrison regiment. "The casualties on my side are also very large, so I can only send you 20 people, but you kid must promise me that I will stay on guard until dawn." Liu Goat not only brought 20 new troops to Tang Cheng, but also brought a light machine gun and 2 boxes of ammunition to Tang Cheng.

Picking up the already tattered military uniform on Tang Cheng's body, Liu Goat, who repeatedly confirmed that Tang Cheng was not seriously injured, relieved his heart. "Your kid fought well just now, and it shouldn't be a problem to hold on until dawn with this momentum, but you have to be careful that these guys retreat from the battle, once there are deserters, your position will be over." Liu Goat's expression looked a little tired, I don't know if it was Tang Cheng's illusion, Tang Cheng actually saw a trace of loneliness on Liu Goat's face who never bowed his head.

"When the Japanese army attacked just now, I personally killed three guys who wanted to escape, hoping that their families would not blame me." Liu Goat opened his hands to show Tang Cheng the blood stains on his palms. The blackboard blood stains looked like a picture, but Tang Cheng knew that this picture was definitely not good-looking, because it represented death and Liu Goat's guilt. "These people can't be considered real soldiers at all, if we didn't come to Mengcheng, they might still be just peasants or militia groups, the Japanese army is coming, they just need to lay down their weapons and become ordinary people again."

Tang Cheng also killed deserters, just at the Beishan Pass, and killed more than one deserter, he didn't have such a sense of guilt as Liu Goat, not to mention that when they left Nanjing, didn't they also become deserters in the end and didn't live and die with Nanjing City. "Fight well, you have no problem commanding a platoon now, and when this battle is over, your company commander will be considered worthy of his name." Liu Shangyang finally admitted that it was a mistake for him to push Tang Cheng to the position of company commander, but the affirmation in his words made Tang Cheng very happy.

The Japanese forces launched another attack on Tangcheng's positions an hour later, but for some reason, the positions of the adjacent 173rd Division remained silent. Tang Cheng, who didn't pay attention to this, was lying on his stomach in the position and observing the Japanese army's offensive formation with a telescope, or Tang Cheng's familiar pig burst tactics, the Japanese troops in three columns arranged horizontally slowly moved forward, and the number looked at least 400 people, according to the strength of the Japanese army, this was at least two squadrons of Japanese troops.

Retracting his body into the trench, Tang Cheng rubbed his already sweaty palms in the dirt, this was a tough battle, a ratio of more than one to ten forces was an unfair battle, Tang Cheng really couldn't think of any other means to reverse this upcoming battle. "Boom" "Boom" The Japanese mortars began to release shells towards the positions of Tangcheng, and after the advance of the Japanese attack reached nearly 100 meters, their grenadiers also joined the ranks of the bombardment, and the fires that rose from time to time reflected the positions of Tangcheng in red.

Enduring the shrapnel and mud that splashed on the position from time to time, Tang Cheng and the others lowered their bodies and lay down on the position, their numbers were small, and their weapons and ammunition were almost exhausted, so they could only shoot after they had put the attacking Japanese troops closer. Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to the Japanese attack, slowly pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded it, and Liu Shanyang would shoot a flare into the air every few minutes, and under the white cold light, the Japanese army's earthy yellow military uniform was extremely conspicuous.

When the "boom" Japanese advance advanced to 30 meters in front of the position in Tangcheng, one of the few tricky mines was finally triggered, and the sudden explosion and fire in front of the position greatly excited the soldiers of the garrison regiment lying on the position. Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were lying down 30 meters away, Tang Cheng on the position grinned, although the power of the grenade was not very good, but for the Japanese army attacking at night, it was a problem that was not big or small and difficult to ignore.

The Japanese machine gun that followed the attack forward began to spit tongues of fire, but Tang Cheng did not react, all they had to do was to hold on until dawn, Tang Cheng, who only had more than 30 people at hand, was not arrogant enough to repel the Japanese attack again, all he had to do was to delay time as much as possible. "Hmm" In the deafening sound of machine guns, Cao Jinhu, who was lying not far from Tang Cheng's side, let out a muffled snort, this guy who was used to being a bandit was wounded in the left shoulder by a bullet fired by the Japanese army.

"Go back and wrap up the wound yourself, there will be no time when the fight starts." Seeing that Cao Jinhu was just covering the wound with his palm but didn't have the slightest intention of bandaging it, Tang Cheng took out a first-aid kit made by Tian Kui and threw it over. The trenches in the right flank position had already completely collapsed, and Tang Cheng was now lying in the floating soil waiting for the Japanese attack, and Cao Jinhu wanted to bandage his wounds without being discovered by the other party, so he had to slowly retreat to the trench more than ten meters away from his side.

"No, it's not a big injury, it's just a little bit of a little devil's bullet." Picking up the first-aid package thrown by Tang Cheng and putting it in his pocket, Cao Jinhu reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground and pasted it on his bleeding shoulder. Cao Jinhu's actions made Tang Cheng frown, Tang Cheng, who grew up with Robert, would not let his wounds stain dirty, and in the hospitals in Shanghai, he saw many patients who had to be amputated because of wound infection.

Two more fireballs erupted in front of the "boom" and "boom" positions, although the firelight was only fleeting, but Tang Cheng saw the steel helmet that was thrown high with the fire ball. Tang Cheng suddenly regretted that he hadn't brought back all the grenades captured by the 1st Company in Beishan, if he had used them to exchange more grenades from the 173rd Division, maybe he would have been able to arrange the minefield several times larger than it is now. Tang Cheng's joy seemed to be a little early, and after triggering several grenades in a row, the Japanese troops, who were lying 30 meters away in front of the position, began not to rush to charge, but under the cover of machine guns, sent soldiers to carefully search the offensive route.

"Fire, fire, don't let them destroy all our grenades." Seeing that the stragglers sent by the Japanese army raised three treacherous mines arranged by Tang Cheng in a row, Tang Cheng, who was lying on his stomach and watching the situation, could not accept it, if the Japanese army broke through the minefield, what was waiting for them would be hundreds of bright bayonets. "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" Several Japanese soldiers who were searching in the minefield were knocked down at one time, but Tangcheng's fire also exposed their position, and under the strong fire of the Japanese machine guns, the forward of the Japanese attack began to advance little by little.

"Onboard" As the leading officer drank for a long time, the impatient Japanese soldiers who had been waiting for a long time got up with their rifles and started to charge, and they were only 30 meters away from their position in Tangcheng, which was only a dozen seconds for any Japanese soldier to cross. A platoon of guns fired, Tang Cheng ordered the machine gun to fire, "da" The sudden burst of gunfire on the defender's position caught the Japanese troops in the charge off guard, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground with blood mist in the first round of machine gun fire.

"Throw grenades, throw grenades." More than a dozen grenades found from the corpses of Japanese soldiers were vigorously thrown, and taking advantage of the rumbling explosion, Tang Cheng, who was carrying a shell gun, was the first to jump out of the floating ground and rush forward, followed by Cao Jinhu and a dozen other guys with quick hands and feet. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers closest to Tang Cheng were more than ten meters away, and in Tang Cheng's hastily formulated counterattack plan, these Japanese corpses would play a big role.
